Take a look at my resolutions I put down at the beginning of this year.
1. I want to lose weight.I must lose 5kg by June 2007.
Talk about losing weight. Feeling damn loser about it. I haven't lost any. In fact, I gained. :(
2.I want to learn vibrato.& of course improve more in playing the oboe.& train until I can be in tune forever.
I think I improved, like expressing the music better. ntonation was maintained. Vibrato? Hahaha. I can do it, like shit. :/ Try harder this year.
3.Get to know more bandmates better,and like talk to them more.
Yeah. I did.
Got to know our previous leaders more, and they really helped us a lot, especially when we just took over and were sturggling with almost everything.
Got to know Tianji better. Sectionals are cool cos of him. Crapped a lot. OBOES BOULDERS!
Got to know people like Youjing, Liling, Dolly, Shannon, Zhiyang, Chonhei, Fiona, Edward, Jessica, Theresa, Theckyee, Yici, Jonathan, Venus, Atika, Chris, Ivan, Yanqing, Shermine, David, the Ex-cos, SLs etc etc. Some of these people are people who'd I've never talked to in my whole Sec 1 and 2 life. Be it working together with them for the TW Trip, or all the diff activities and all that, it was great knowing and working with you guys.
4. Love 3/3`07 like I love 2/5`06.
Well...What can I say? Change of classmates was super exciting initially. As we got comfortable and settled in, well yeah, I guess we learn how to tahan each other and all that. The year was quite satisfying.
5. Learn to organise my time properly,so that I can handle my school work + band + personal time well.
Done that. I think I handled it quite well.
6.Make an effort to talk to my family members more.
Yeah, I'm talking to my bro more. Think he's gotten cooler after the whole NS thing.
7.Visit Bibiana often,and make sure she doesn't get bullied. :D
Aiya, get bullied by who? More like she bullies. Hahaha, glad she's doing well in her class.
8.Stop destroying my shoes in less than 6 months.
Well, I've got 2 pairs of shoes now. I'll rotate among them, so they'll last longer. (:
9.Use my brain more,and stop acting rashly.
I guess sometimes you just can't control lah. I tried. At least I act with plans now.
10.To not spend unnecessarily, save more money!
Half done, half not done. Going to take this way more seriously from now on. For the sake of my business. :D

2007 has been lots of changes, growing up, and all that.
To Youjing & Liling:
I've really enjoyed working with the two of you. We've got officially 2 months to go. I'm sorry for all the times I do stuff without getting your opinions first and all the stupid stuff. I'm sorry for the times I throw my temper and all that. I'm really glad to have you both to work with on like everything.
Even though we have to deal with loads of stuff and all, we kinda never fail to have fun eh? I think we should control and stop digressing during discussions.
But hey, "ogay" was a really great invention. :D It's spreading everywhere now.
To Tianji:
Dear Junior, It's been really nice to see you grow up and all. From the first day you stepped into the band room, became a part of the oboe section, until now, you're in your long pants already!
It's been really tiring teaching you and all that, but really, the oboe section wouldn't have been this without you.
I hope you'll start to set your own goals to work towards to, and work hard, to become a really good oboe player. And I hope you'll learn to teach your own junior well, and pass on the joy and satisfaction you get from playing the oboe.
I want to be able to come back to the band room, and hear a super beautiful oboe sound, be it coming from you, or your junior, or your junior's junior.
加油!
To my dear Bonker`dds:
I'm really glad we're still friends. Even though we don't really go out together as often as before, even though we're in different classes and all now, even though we all have our own shit to deal with, I'm glad we're still the group of people that we can all just get crazy together, talk about anything under the sun together, and rely on whenever we're troubled or need help.
Secondary school life would have just sucked big time if not for you guys.
I hope that in the future, despite all the heavy workload and all that, we'll still be friends and all. I want to be able to celebrate like our 100th year anniversary or something. :D
You guys are really wonderful.

Goodbye 2007.

Feel like a bloody loser now. So uncool. To think I was overwhelmed by that teeny bit of improvement, that I forgot control, forgot self-discipline.
Today, I went back to school to clean up the dirty band room, which is about to get dustier thanks to the acoustic curtains.
So, after like 3 hours of cleaning, packing and vacuuming, I was sweating like a pig.
So, I was stinky, I was super super hungry. The bus ride home was horrible, with the empty stomach. Made me want to puke. :(
So anyway, when I reached home, as usual, I went onto the weighing machine.
ZOMG. ~!@#$%^&*() DA PRO LOST ONE FUCKING KILOGRAM.
Happy right? Happy....
Then, we had guests over for dinner. As usual, my mum will cook all the good food lah. And hey, guess what!
If you have bought the latest Teenage Mag, Jan 08, with Jay Chou on the cover,
and you happen to not want the Fahrenheit thing inside, you can give it to me okay!
When did I become such a Fahrenheit fan? I don't know. Hah.
But really really, if you really don't mind not having it, you can give it to me okay! Doesn't matter which one you have. :D
Anyway, it's super worth buying since Jay is on the cover.
Dans! The good way.
[ 11:03 am ]
I'm trying damned hard to talk my mom into starting an eBay account. :(
Christmas was boring. No atmosphere at all.
Band prac resumes tomorrow! Start getting back into the mood man.
School's reopening soon! Walau, feeling damn sad about it. Like, I haven't even gone crazy, and holidays just ended. And, everyone has gone all nervous and all about the big Os.
Ai-yo-yo. :(

I'm going to start digging out my old new stuff out and sell em.
EARN MONEY! Money money money. :D

I'm doing posters for next year's CCA open house. The sec 2s are supposed to do it, but I was feeling bored. Decided to do them in sections.
Done it for oboes and saxophones.
Yeah, you'd better make sure you're cool enough. :D
Anyway, we'll probably end up not using them. :/
Forgot to mention about the interview. It was quite boring. The rubbish thing was a failure, not a total failure thanks to Chon Hei.
Chosen the leaders! Can't wait to shock the world. :D Fwahahaha.
[ 3:59 pm ]
Sometimes, I wish Friendster never existed. Then people wouldn't have thought of disgusting poses. And even if they did, eventually, lesser of them would have the cheek to show it to the rest of the world.
Eeeee, so disgusting. :(
Anyway, had a gathering with the 2/5 people previously. Nice to have a gathering after such a long time, but a lot of people weren't there, and it was quite boring lah. :/
At least we had a gathering of some sort anyway.
Met Liying early in the morning to get the tickets from her. Then went to school later in the day to get my oboe.
First time I'm practising in like 2 weeks. Feeling fucking guilty about it. :(
Talk about taking ABRSM exams and all? Long way to go.
Finished watching Nodame Cantabile. Like finally.
Christmasin3days!

I love the table people lah. Super cool. :D
Yay! The whole band. :D

WEIGHT PROBLEMS.
Feeling like dying. ):
I DON'T WANT TO GO TAF CLUB! It's not all about the dignity thing, well, partially. It's more of the waste of time, and eating constraints! Must eat fruits every recess, run on Mon, Wed and Fri.
Well, at least I'll have maybe like Cavin to run with, IF I really get in.
It's NOT something good, but in a way, it's not THAT bad. :/
ARGHXZXZXZZ.
School days = Put on weight. Holidays = Put on more weight.
Nevertheless, dramas never fail you. You should totally check Mike He out.
I think his performance in 鬥牛,要不要's way better than 換換愛。 Same genre though.
:D Interview tomorrow!
Excitednessnessnessnessness!

Back from Bali.
The resort was totally cool. I'll perhaps never get another chance to stay there again, unless my dad wins another golf tournament, or I start earning big bucks when I grow up.
Not much shopping though, wasn't able to find the right places cos there weren't even signs with street names.
Other than the USD920/night resorts, the outsides were super torn.
The beach was good. Didn't get much sun though, cos we went in the evening. A longer stay would have been better.
Nevertheless, cool shit. (:
Now, back to the homework issue. ~!@#$%^&*()
Thursday, December 13, 2007
[ 11:28 pm ]
GAY SHIT!
You should check out the smell of medicated oil. Not the immediate one, right after it comes out of the bottle. The one after it stays on your hand for around half an hour.
Oh man. :(
And you know, S$1 is approx 6200 rupia.
Cool shit. Everything's gonna cost like 10s of thousands.
Feeling rich about it? Yeah.
Okay, bye.
[ 9:33 pm ]
Did some homework and all today. At least I won't have nothing to hand in when school reopens.
鬥牛,要不要 is super super nice! Walau, then it's like one week one episode again. Watch until when lah. :( Ah well, patience.
Going off to Bali tomorrow with my family! Heard it's a super nice place. Checked out the shopping destinations already! Cool shit. Be back on Monday.
Oh yes. I finished 公主小妹 already! The ending was quite expected. But still, there were super sad parts lah. Cried, and cried.
Haha.
Anyway, I'm quite happy with 鬥牛,要不要's cast. Like finally, it's not 賀軍翔 and 楊丞琳 anymore. Hah.
[ 11:47 am ]
More pictures!
This is, the picture of the year man! Check out how much area they guy's taking up!
HAHAHA.
I'm like taken over by the I-miss-Taiwan-trip feeling. :(

Band Trip: Taiwan[ 2:58 pm ]
Yay! Finally had the time to put up all the pictures and all. Taiwan trip was great! Well, the first few days was tiring, got better after I started getting better at the job.
And yeah, really, the trip really brought many people together, and yeah, I got to know many many people better. :D
Tianji! I hope I haven't bored you too much in the bus!
With Linda & Zhiyang! The future business partners eh? :D
Xiao Xuan & Theresa.
And yeah. This is, BUS B!
School Visit to, Xinshi High School or sth.
Tianji's new girlfriend! HAHAHAHA. Kidding.
This is so cute lah. They actually decorated the hall like that, just for us. Very welcoming. Really. 超熱情的!
ROOMIES! :D Okay, I don't have the picture with Lynette too. Ah well. Jessica saved my life lah.
There was this tree on a tiny island thing in the middle of the Sun Moon Lake. It had a story. But I can't really remember.
Here's the resort we stayed at. Only for 1 night though.
Pretty eh?
Pictures at 天母囯中!
Dolly!
Check out their STUDENT ACTIVITY CENTRE. It's one whole building, not one room. Like, HELLO!
And then, we split into sections for sectionals. Spent about an hour with their tutors. Didn't really learn anything, cos we just sightread some simple piece. :/
See that? Every section has one bloody room for sectionals. Check out the walls! Acoustically treated. Like thanks lah. Best.
Photo with the clarinet and oboe section.
Saw this at the 7-11 beside the hotel. All the 飛輪海 and S.H.E and 小豬 pictures all over the place. Cool shit.
Theme park!
Linda & Chris on the scary circle ride. I took it too, and I was swearing throughout the whole thing. Chris said I was like the only one screaming. Vulgarities s'more.
Lavenders at the garden thing we visited. Pretty.
Team! Thanks.
That's all! Still got damn a lot of other pictures with other people lah. The handphone cam isn't exactly the best. Hah.
Post them up when the people send it to me. :D
I love my table lah. We finish all the food. And everyone's like super cool. So heartwarming. :D
